“The Largest Musical Instrument in the World” is the title for this month’s Lunch n’ Learn program held in the Hunting Shanty of the Tuckerton Seaport on March 11 at 12:30 p.m. Scott Banks, events coordinator for the Historic Organ Restoration Committee, a volunteer effort refurbishing the Midmer-Losh pipe organ, will give a virtual walk-through of the huge pipe organ housed in Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall.
